I was excited when I saw the window boxes project. I have always like the idea of them. You showed the “easy” steps: wood, cutting, putting together, painting, but never mentioned nor showed how you attached the boxes to your windows. I think is a very important step that was left out…

I’m super excited to get to work in my yard and make some much needed improvements. We did a hardwood floor resurfacing this past winter so now we just need to get the outside to look as good as the inside.

Interesting front yard curb appeal ideas. Plenty of great inspiration for our front yard, which we’re in the process of landscaping. I’m not set on any one thing yet, but I was looking at some other articles about front yard landscaping: this post puts more of a focus on description rather than images, but they do have some good ideas that complement this. Why not add some night images with lighting features? Lighting is one thing that I think many people gloss over when landscaping their front yard. In any event, this is very helpful.

I agree! I love using solar lighting to accent areas in the yard – front and back!
